"Where is this place?"
"This is the arsenal of my 357th Regiment. There is a rifle production line, a 105mm howitzer production line, and a grenade production line. However, the power plant is still under construction and has not been officially put into production.”
After saying that, he brought Zhao Gang directly into one of the long houses that had just been built.
There was no electricity for the time being, so he could only light up the entire long room with a torch.
A brand new weapon production line was placed in this long room.
Zhao Gang's eyes widened.
What did he see?
There was actually such a small arsenal hidden in the mountains of northwestern Shanxi.
They could also produce 105mm howitzers.
One had to know that only a few of the military factories could produce this kind of cannon, and the production was extremely low.
However, Yu Zhiqian's 357th Regiment was only a single regiment, yet it had such a large arsenal.
"Committee Member Zhao, no, I'll call you Old Zhao from now on. You have to keep this a secret for me. If Li Yunlong finds out, won't he come and hit on me every day?”
Zhao Gang walked to the front of the production line. Although he had never seen the production of firearms, he had visited the arsenal when he was studying at Yanjing University and had seen the production line.
However, the production line that he saw had already been used by countless people. Many parts of it were rusted.
However, the production line in front of him was brand new.
"What are these?"
Zhao Gang was stunned. This was a complete weapon production line. As long as there was electricity, weapons could be produced immediately.
"The M1 Garand rifle production line, as well as the ammunition production. As long as there are enough raw materials, we can produce 500 rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition a day!”
Zhao Gang looked at the production line. If the Eighth Route Army could have this production line, how much would it improve the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army?
"You should know that the equipment of that battalion is nothing to me.”
"What is this production line?" Zhao Gang nodded.”
"My family got it from the Ugly Country. It's just a production line. When our territory is a little bigger in the future, I'll get my family to send over a tank production line!”
Zhao Gang stared at Yu Zhiqian, wanting to find out what kind of family Yu Zhiqian came from.
Wasn't this a weapon production line?
Furthermore, Zhao Gang had come into contact with the Garand Rifle before. It was the standard equipment of the Ugly Country.
It wasn't some outdated equipment.
It seemed that it had only been installed a few years ago, but Yu Zhiqian's family had actually managed to get a production line?
What kind of background did Yu Zhiqian's family have?
Zhao Gang immediately felt that Yu Zhigan had become great again.
With such a family background, he actually gave up his superior life and resolutely returned to the country to fight the Japanese.
What kind of feeling was this?
Zhao Gang pondered. If he was Yu Zhigan, he might not be able to do what Yu Zhigan did.
"Let's go and take a look at the cannon production line.”
Yu Zhigan waved his hand and brought Zhao Gang to another long room.
It had been less than two days since Yu Zhiqian had received the reward for a brand new cannon production line.
Zhao Gang looked at the production line carefully. He didn't use military equipment, but he understood the English on the machines and knew their functions.
"How much can this produce in a day?"
"A small production line with enough raw materials can produce five 105mm howitzers a day. However, the requirements for steel are relatively high, so the output is probably not too high.”
Zhao Gang did a simple calculation and was immediately shocked.
"In other words, you can produce fifty to sixty 105mm howitzers a month?”
"Almost. The main problem is the steel.”
After Zhao Gang walked out of the long room, he looked around carefully and said,"Commander Yu, how are the guards here?”
Zhao Gang felt that his words were easily misunderstood."I mean, how strong are the guards around you? What if the Japanese found out? The Japanese must be desperate to attack this place!”
Yu Zhiqian looked at Zhao Gang and said with a smile,"Don't worry, I've placed two battalions of troops around here to guard the Black Cloud Stronghold.”
"Moreover, the Black Cloud Stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the devils attack with a division, they won't be able to break in.”
Zhao Gang was slightly relieved after hearing that.
He looked at Yu Zhiqian and thought for a moment before saying,"Commander Yu, do you mind if I report this to the headquarters? Don't worry, I'm just reporting to the boss because we need weapons. We can buy weapons from you in the future.”
Yu Zhiqian brought Zhao Gang here and didn't plan to hide it. However, Yu Zhiqian didn't plan to give it away. Instead, he thought that it would be fine if he sold it to No. 8 Road at the cost price.
After all, if it was a gift, all kinds of problems would easily occur.
It was not the time yet.
"Don't worry, I'll sell it to you at cost price. Speaking of which, I have a suggestion.”
